Played goofyhand with the strings still configured right-handed. Sublime.No, he strung it upside down so it would be just a mirror of a right-hander.

Here's my rig. The EB-3L is fretless, the only one in the world.

Acch. Dammit. I stand corrected - just watched a clip of him at Woodstock, playing his famous rendition of the national anthem. He kept the thin ones low, indeed.
I didn’t mean to take up your sweet time.

Is there a recording equipment equivalent of GAS? I’m currently obsessing over a perceived need for a mike optimized to record bass drum. Never recorded a drum kit in my life, but gotta have one. Weird!

(speaking of coincidences, I happened to BUY that cheap Steinberger bass knock-off at Elderly Instruments’ brick-and-mortar store in Lansing, MI — from whence you linked your graphic)

Nice article. I've 3 main guitars that I've settled on. An 83 strat (blonde with maple neck), a 92 Les Paul Custom, and a 99 Martin D-41 (bought it new). But as far as preference on the electrics... I just waffel between them.
You can go to the youtube link on my tagline and see my D-41. :)

That’s a beauty. ....and in excellent shape. Amazing how much pre-CBS Fenders have appreciated in value over the last decade or so.
To: IslandJeff
He kept the thin ones low, indeed. Jimi did, but Otis Rush didn't. He just turned that 335 of his upside down and left the strings as is. Amazing blues player.

Thanks for the post. My pride and joy, pun intended, is a Stevie Ray Vaughn Signature Series Stratocaster. It frees my soul every evening about 9pm.

Try a Mexican strat or Tele, Jeff. Since you don’t like the tremolo, just put five springs in the back of the strat and take the whammy bar off. It’s how mine are set up.

I bought this and a same year Fender Deluxe Reverb amp from a friend back in the 80’s for $400. Wonder what they are worth now?

That’s the very definition of GAS. You don’t need it, but you’re obsessing over it. Way to go!

Of course there is. GAS encompasses all areas of music gear and technology.
Try an Audix D4 or D6. I’ve had good luck with the D4, which is a bit cheaper than the 6.
ps - they work well for recording bass amps as well.
To: wolfpat
Good lookin’ setup! I bought my EB-3 new in ‘69. I seem to remember the fretless one being available as an option.
